Re: Radiator problem
The original poster's complaint is that he has to keep adding a cup of
coolant. He didn't say he had to add it every day, and he didn't say that he
ever added more than a cup. It seems perfectly plausable to me that if all
he is adding is a cup, then maybe it simply doesn't want that last cup full
of coolant to be added. So, it seems to be a logical question to ask if it
continues to spit coolant out if he neglects to top off that last cup that
keeps getting spit out. If it doesn't lose any coolant after the first cup,
then stop putting it back in and the problem will be solved.
I am only going by what the original poster has already told us, and he
hasn't been back to tell us any more.

I never replace the lost antifreeze. It does this every time I drive it
for any length of time. I was asking if this is a standard jeep thing
for small amounts of coolant is visible where the top skirt of the
radiator is crimped on, of do I just need to replace the radiator ?

Any leak there is "a bad thing." Your certain it is from there and
not being sprayed there by a leaky hose?
You should plan on getting that replaced before it blows. That crimp
between plastic and metal has got to be the most stupid idea I've ever
seen. (nope, my radiator isn't leaking yet but I keep expecting it
to one of these days) When it does I'll replace with an aluminum 3core.

Re: Radiator problem
No it is not normal! I think people may have misread you original
post, if your rad is leaking along the top where it is mated to the
core you might need to take it to a rad shop or just replace it. I
recently had to replace the rad in my wifes Cherokee, I was going to
have it repaired but decided spending an extra few dollars on a new
one would be better in the long run.
